The School Days of Albus Severus
by writingismysuperpower
Summary: A series of letters from Albus to his parents as he goes through his years at Hogwarts.
1. Chapter 1

_**Hello, my Fan-Fictioners! Sorry I've been MIA the past few weeks. I had finals, and then I had to recover from finals. You know how it goes. I've been sleep deprived – extremely so – this whole semester, and to be honest I don't see much purpose in publishing crap, so I waited until I was sure I could give you my best. Also, I would like to post more than just HP fics, but I'm a little apprehensive. I like NCIS LA, and PJO, so if you're interested in something from those just lemme know. Until I work up the courage to do that, here's a series of letters from Albus Potter to either Ginny or Harry. There will be seven-eight chapters; one letter for each of Albus' school years and possibly one for the year after that. Depends on what I decide young Mr. Potter ends up doing for a living. Anyway, it was quick and simple, and remarkably easy to write. That means it's really good, or really bad. Please tell me which it is!**_

/

_Dear Dad,_

_Well, you and Uncle Ron were right about one thing – Aunt Hermione is the only person in existence to have ever read _Hogwarts, A History_. All the first years are completely hopeless when it comes to the most basic things. Even Rose got lost last week; James teased her about it something dreadful, but she threatened to hex his nose off. He reckons she's read far enough ahead in the rest of her books that he ought to take her seriously. Didn't stop him from taking the mickey out me though, when I got stuck on one of those trick steps. He stood there for a solid ten minutes just laughing at me before he pulled me out. Stupid git._

_Anyway, classes are going alright, I suppose. Potions doesn't make any sense at all to me, but I think I'm really going to enjoy DADA. Professor Tate is interesting enough, at least for Transfiguration, but Professor Flitwick is a bit hard to understand sometimes because his voice is so squeaky. Lucy can do a spot-on impersonation of him, except he heard her do it one day in class and got detention. Don't mention it to Uncle Percy – she says what he doesn't know won't hurt him. Given Uncle Percy's feelings for the rules, I think she's got the right idea. On that note, did James mention he got detention for the next two weeks due to him jinxing Fred's trainers to tie themselves to every chair he sat in? It might not have caused such a problem if Fred hadn't realised what had happened during Potions. When he got up to turn his sample in he "accidentally" upset the table behind him and the two girls had to go see Madam Pomfrey because their potion splashed all over them. James probably forgot to tell you and Mum about that, seeing as how he's so busy with Quidditch and his studies and laughing at innocent first years who've got themselves stuck on the trick step and all. _

_At least I can find some peace in the evenings. One thing I do like about not being in Gryffindor is that James can't prank me while I'm sleeping. If he had access to my dormitory here I'd never sleep. Our common room seems dark at first, but there's usually a fire going and always plenty of light in the evenings so we can do our homework. I wish it weren't in the dungeons, though. Why can't we have a tower? There's plenty of them in this castle, and Hufflepuff gets to be by the kitchens. It makes getting late night snacks awfully difficult. I've already nearly gotten caught by that dimwitted caretaker twice. If it weren't for the Cloak I'd be hanging by my ankles in Filch's office now. That unholy cat of his is still around – Mum said in her last letter than once you and her nearly got caught one night because you knocked over one of the brooms in the closet you were in and it caused a huge racket. __What in the name of Merlin were you two doing in a broom closet? __Please don't answer that, Dad. Remember, I'm eleven. That means I'm naïve enough to ask those questions, but not so naïve I can't think of the answer on my own once it's been voiced._

_Anyhow, I'd better be off; I've got a bit of Charms homework left yet. It's already quite late and we've a full day tomorrow. James is really nervous about the match, but I think whatever you told him in your last letter helped. He looked more apprehensive this morning, and considering that he's looked positively terrified every morning for the past week and a half I'd say that's some improvement. Neville says hello, and that he'd love to come round on Boxing Day. And before Mum asks me in her next letter – NO, I haven't been up to visit Professor Dumbledore's portrait yet. It's barely October, Mum. I'll meet my infamous namesake soon enough. In the meantime, give my love to the family, and tell Lily that she better be ready for Exploding Snap when we get home next month. See you then, Dad._

_Love, _

_Al_


	2. Chapter 2

_Mum – _

_I GOT CHASER. James is furious, he says that the only reason I did was because our Keeper is dreadful, but if that were true then everybody would have had a perfect tryout, and I only made four of five goals and still got more than the others. You were right though, when you told me that half the game is learning to keep track of the Bludgers. I actually got knocked clean off my broom at our first practice. Don't worry, I was only a few feet off the ground and wasn't hurt. Crawson, the new Beater, meant to send the Bludger to the other end of the pitch but his aim is worse than Uncle Percy's. Our Beaters are decent enough, but one of them has a year of experience so hopefully they'll improve before our first match. Which, by the way, is against Gryffindor. I suspect that's another reason James is upset about it; he's probably afraid we'll win. He just wouldn't be able to bear losing to his little brother. I'd love to say he has good reason to be nervous, but half our team is either third or second years. Our captain is only a fifth year, so what little experience we do have comes from one of Slytherin's worst losing streaks in history. Last year, though, we did alright. I'm hoping to win our first match just because I'd love to have anything to rub in James's face. He's always picking at me over something, it'd be great to give him a taste of his own medicine. Sort of like you did with all your brothers when they had no idea you even knew how to fly, but you made the team and were loads better than they gave you credit for. They must have been baffled when you made the Harpies team. Professor Sprout told James once that Dad could've played professional Quidditch too, only he wanted to become an Auror._

_ I had no idea Dad played that well. I mean, I know he was the youngest Seeker in over a century, and he says that Granddad Potter was Chaser, the best that Hogwarts had seen in that long. Both their names are on all sorts of things down in the Trophy Room. What's all this about our family setting all these records for over a hundred years? Too much pressure, if you ask me. Put that with the fact that half my aunts and uncles were geniuses, heroes, master pranksters or all of the above and I'm not sure I see the purpose in getting up every morning._

_Tell Lily that there's no way I'm trading my Agrippa Chocolate Frog card for her Hufflepuff one- it took me ages to find him. I've got about sixteen of Uncle Ron's though, so if she's desperate to get rid of Hufflepuff then fine by me. Uncle Ron has got the most uncomfortable looking picture on his. It's awful to look at unless you're really depressed about something, then it's good for a laugh._

_Anyhow, I'd better be off. Rose is helping me with a Transfiguration essay that's due day after tomorrow. It's ghastly stuff, but she's Aunt Hermione's daughter so she's got the whole textbook memorized by now. We're meeting in the library because she says I'd be forever trying to get in the Ravenclaw common room. That stupid eagle on their door doesn't make any sense at all to me, but it always loves Rose's answers because they sound smarter than mine. Can't argue with that, I suppose. Give my love to the family, and ask Gran if she could sent some of that fudge next time she makes it. You know the kind – chocolate, with caramel and nuts all mixed in. I don't care if it's not healthy to eat it past midnight, it's the only way I'll ever make through these study sessions with Rosie. Make sure she sends loads of it. I'll write a more decent letter when things aren't so hectic. _

_Love,_

_Albus_

_/_

_**I've always imagined Albus to be the more nervous of Harry's children, which is why he's sort of rambly here. But this chapter was fun to write – I love that the three kids will be able to ask both their parents for Quidditch advice. And I like the idea of the boys playing Chaser while Lily plays Seeker. (That idea will come in later chapters, by the way. In case you like this story enough to actually be interested.) Thanks for reading, if you did, and don't be shy. Let me know what I can do better!**_


	3. Chapter 3

_**Greetings, people of the Internet. So, how are things? Good? Bad? That "meh" stage where you can't complain but wish things were better all the same? Regardless of how your day has gone so far, I sincerely hope that this chapter will bring a smile to your face. Enjoy!**_

_Dear Mum,_

_I've decided that I'm never going to be married. You females are clingy, worrisome, meddling, or a nightmarish combination of all those. I don't mean to be rude, but the only girls I can stand to be around are the ones I'm already related to, so I reckon I'm one of those life-long bachelors. Wish I could say the same for my brother. James has, to be blunt, gone utterly off his rocker. But I'm sure you can see that for yourself, since he's been writing to you about Her Royal Highness and how wonderful and pretty and smart and charming and funny she is._

_Bullocks._

_Sadie Perkins, no matter what your barmy firstborn has told you, is completely dimwitted. She's not bad looking, I suppose, but her jokes are beyond annoying. Not to mention the way she just can't seem to function without someone to carry her books for her. Jamesie, however, was entranced within five minutes of meeting her. All she had to do was smile and wish him luck in his next Quidditch match and BOOM – cue the roses and birdsong._

_From what I've heard, you and Dad weren't one bit like that; Uncle Ron told me once how Dad got some Cauldron Cakes spiked with love potion from some crazy bird, and when you two started going out the girl was furious and kept asking you about Dad's tattoos. (Speaking of, has he got any? You said I couldn't get one from that bloke in Romania when we went to visit Uncle Charlie.) Anyhow, I really can't understand why James fancies Sadie so much, but he's the happiest I've seen him. Perhaps he got slipped some love potion too. What is it, exactly, that makes us Potter men so irresistible? I've heard stories of how Granddad Potter was considered a real catch when he was in school, but I certainly don't walk around trying to snag the attention of some giggling girl. I just want to pass my exams and trounce James in our next Quidditch match – although come to think of it, that might be a good deal easier since he's so distracted all the time. Hmm. Perhaps I ought to thank Sadie after all._

_Love Your Stubbornly, Blissfully Single Son,_

_Al_

**_Alright, here's the way I see it: James Sirius Potter is much like his two namesakes, in that he has noticed the opposite sex for quite some time now. Keep in mind that he is in fifth year at this time, so it's only natural he should find a girlfriend. Al, however, is much more like Harry, and so he notices that girls are pretty and attractive, but not until he gets a good bit older does he realize that he's supposed to do something with that information. Hence the "Gross-why-is-James-in-love" rant. Hope you liked it!_**


	4. Chapter 4

_Dear Mum and Dad,_

_Well, it's official – Lily is the new Gryffindor Seeker. James was fit to be tied when he found out, but eventually everyone's shock wore off. I personally wasn't at all surprised. She's got the build for it, and Merlin knows it's in her genes. I've seen her fly, too, and I have to say she's a natural. I'm sure she's already written you all about tryouts. She told me the morning after that out of ten students who had tried out for the position, only three of them offered her congratulations. I suppose all those blokes didn't fancy losing to a second year, and a tiny one at that. Our first match against them is coming up soon, and I'm rather nervous. Gryffindor has put together a superb team this year. Of course, Lily goes stark white upon mention of any match, but I think once she gets up in the air she'll forget all about it. Don't worry, Dad. I've already warned Scorpius and our Beaters that even though I want to win, if they cause Lily to be hurt in any way, I'll unearth those legendary ankle-chains of Filch's and string up the lot of them myself. I wouldn't worry too much though; Scor would rather have his teeth pulled than hurt Lily. Stebbins and Morris, our Beaters, are decent enough blokes but can get a bit competitive. But they're both scared enough by me and Scorpius – not to mention the other lunatics she's got for family – to listen and try not to knock her off her broom. Of course, they can't go too easy on her otherwise she'll go ballistic about how she can hold her own in Quidditch and if she wasn't good enough to win the hard way then she wouldn't have been put on the team in the first place. This whole business is a good deal more complicated now that I've got a little sister involved. Used to be I'd give anything to trounce Gryffindor in Quidditch, and now I'm torn between beating James and making Lils happy. I tried explaining this to Sadie the other morning. She just smiled and told me I was "so sweet" before asking me to tell you thanks for having her over this summer. I don't know why I have to tell you that; she's probably already written you a bloody novel telling you how much she enjoyed her time at our house (Big shocker there, seeing as James was plastered to her side for the entire two weeks). _

_I must admit, she's rather grown on me. She's the only person in existence – besides you, Mum – who can keep James in line. She's got this knack for reading minds that is equal parts vexing and amusing. I don't think anyone has ever finished James's sentences for him. But when she uses it on me it always gets uncomfortable. Speaking of, no matter what anyone tells you, I haven't got a date to Hogsmeade. James overheard Scor joking with me about some girl in our year. She's completely barmy, and there's no possible way I'd ever ask her out, but James, stupid git that he is, happened to hear the wrong part of the conversation, and then he trots off to tell the girls and next thing I know the entire female portion of the Weasley-Potter clan is breathing down my neck, asking me if I'm taking her flowers and if I've snogged her yet. I yelled myself hoarse trying to tell them all it was a joke, but of course they wouldn't listen so finally I gave up and went down to dinner. Sadie was already there, and James had obviously told her, because she takes one look at my face and laughs. But apparently, she didn't just want to laugh at me; she wanted to discuss the situation as well. Here's approximately how __**that**__ conversation went:_

"_Let me guess. You have no intention of asking Jada to Hogsmeade."_

"_I should bloody well think not. Girl's mental."_

"_Mm, yes, she's a bit odd. I don't imagine the girls listened much to you?"_

"_Of course they didn't."_

"_Well, then, seems to me that there's only one course of action. You've got to ask her to Hogsmeade."_

"_Sorry, were you not listening when I said she's –"_

"_Not Jada, Albus. That pretty Ravenclaw you've been staring at for the past month during meals."_

_(No point really in putting in my response here, because it was just a bunch of stammering and blushing with Sadie smirking at me over the rim of her goblet.)_

_I ask you, how do girls do that? And to be clear, I have not been staring at anyone. And "that pretty Ravenclaw" has a name. It's Rebecca, but she likes to be called Bex. I've been partnered up with her in DADA for the past month, but she had a boyfriend for the first week or so. Apparently he's a prat and so she broke it off. She didn't seem at all upset by it, so to be honest I had thought about asking her to Hogsmeade. But I'd have to do it without any of my family finding out, because I'd rather expose her to the madhouse I'm related to a little bit at a time. I haven't the foggiest of how to go about it though. Do I just ask the question? Do I try and make a joke first? Do I have to give her flowers? Do I hold her hand on the way down to the village? Blimey, you girls are complicated._

_I think I'll stop there. I can already see Dad's smirk. Yes, yes, I remember that letter I wrote you last year when James and Sadie first started dating. I was thirteen, and a bit more of an idiot than I am now. So you'll have to excuse me for changing my mind regarding the female gender. Or at least, Bex. The rest of them can go out with the giant squid for I all care._

_See you soon._

_Love,_

_Al_

_**Wow…almost two weeks in between updates. Yikes. I shall certainly try and do better than that. **_

_**I just couldn't keep Sadie an obnoxious character. She's dating James, after all. She's got to have **__**something**__** going for her.**_

_**Thanks for reading! Please click that lovely white box to tell me how I can improve things!**_


	5. Chapter 5

_Dad – _

_If you just give me a chance to explain, you'll understand that I did NOT overreact, I was merely looking out for family. If I can convince you, perhaps you can convince Mum not to send me another Howler. It's not like I did anything wrong, per se, it's just that I don't fancy watching some bloke caress my little sister as though she's a mule that's up for auction. _

_Bex says I'm exaggerating; I don't think I am in the slightest. She's only thirteen! She's got no business waltzing around Hogsmeade or anyplace else holding hands with a fourth year! Great, now Bex is doing that eye-roll thing she does whenever she thinks I'm being stupid._

_**You ARE being stupid. For one thing, you're using a free study period to write a letter explaining why something wasn't your fault even though it was ENTIRELY your fault. And for another, she's old enough to go on one innocent date. It's not like he planned a moonlight rendezvous on the grounds; they went to bloody Hogsmeade! Markus didn't try and sneak off with Lily anywhere. You had no right whatsoever to follow them all over the village and get them thrown out of Zonko's. And since you did, and would have got Markus a week's detention if I hadn't made you confess that the massive Dungbomb explosion that destroyed half the store was your fault rather than his, I think one or two Howlers from your mum is exactly what you need.**_

_Sure. Take sides with the enemy. Not like we've been dating for a year and half by now or anything._

_**Al, you can't keep your sister locked away all the time. Not every bloke out there is a monster. Didn't you see how nicely he treated her at the Three Broomsticks? He was really quite charming, Mr. Potter. You'll like him. It was rather sweet. **_

_Of course you think it's sweet. You're a girl; I'm her big brother. Do you honestly think that realizing there are blokes out there who want to snog my sister is sweet?_

_**Lily is more than capable of handling herself; she's clever and good enough at that Bat-Bogey Hex your mum taught her that no bloke will ever cross her. Once she got through with them, there wouldn't be anything left for you and James to pummel.**_

_Eh, well, it might be fun to burn all of his pictures at least. That's if Lil will let me have any._

_**Really, Albus. No wonder she doesn't like telling you and James about these things. Poor girl finally has me and Sadie to confide in.**_

_Confide about what? Does she talk about him? What does she say?_

_**Merlin's pants. You need to put down this letter and actually study. You said you had that Ancient Runes exam tomorrow. Get to translating. And don't you dare look at me like that, Albus, you need a distraction from all this business with Lily's boyfriend.**_

_**Don't you worry, Mr. and Mrs. Potter. Lily's found herself a charmer. I'm sure she'll write telling you all about him, and then you can meet him and join me in telling Albus that he was being completely irrational. Talk to you both soon.**_

_**Love,**_

_**Al and Bex**_

_What do you think? It's rather different, I'll admit, but it just kind of came out when I was working on this chapter. Hope you liked it, and if you didn't, PLEASE let me know what I can fix!_


	6. Chapter 6

_Dear Mum,_

_You're going to say "I told you so", but I am really beginning to regret taking NEWT Ancient Runes. It sounded like such a good idea back in September, mostly due to how Aunt Hermione is always going on about how useful she's found the subject. Why I let her of all people influence an academic decision, I will never understand. It seems to me all the teachers here are conspiring against us. There is always, always something to be done in at least three of my classes, and even then it's very rarely one something. More times than not it's a plethora of somethings that need to be done by the next day. None of them ever assign an essay less than an entire roll of parchment. I've gone through three bottles of ink since term started, and it's not yet Christmas. Now I understand why James was so solemn his last two years here – I feel like I haven't smiled in ages._

_Of course, things aren't all bad here. Now that James, Fred, and Roxanne are all gone we've got a much better chance at beating Gryffindor in Quidditch this year. Lily is brilliant, of course, but hopefully our Chasers will shape up enough for that not to matter as much. I've walked Lil down to a few of her practices. I've never seen anyone fly like she does. It's infuriating, how it seems to come so naturally to her. I don't think she really tries at all; she just likes the fun of it. Which is important, I suppose, but still. I wish she'd show some struggle at something just she'd seem more human._

_By the way, cuff Dad over the head for me, would you Mum? He was supposed to take MY side when Lil brought Markus over to the house, and instead he was thrilled to meet the bloke. Lily's still seeing him, and I will admit that he's not as bad as I thought he would be, but I'm still not used to seeing my little sister walking around with his arm around her. Ah well. I suppose your brothers felt something like this when you started dating boys – which, going on what I hear from Uncle George and Uncle Ron, you had quite the track record when you were in school, didn't you, Mum? Dad told me once that's how he realized he fancied you, when he saw you with somebody else. It's odd. I'd have never pegged Dad to be the jealous type, but it got him somewhere, so to each his own._

_Bex is great, except she won't let me take her to the Shrieking Shack for our next Hogsmeade weekend. Personally, I'm getting quite bored with the same old Three-Broomsticks-then-shopping routine. But she adamantly refuses to set foot in that house, even though I've told her it's not haunted, that it was built so that one of my grandfather's best mates could still go to school even though he was a werewolf. I even mentioned that it was Teddy's father, and she knows who Teddy is; she helps out his gran in the summer, so she knows all about that story. But she won't go near the place. I even offered to hold her hand, let her cry on my shoulder, etc. You know, all the sappy things that girls go nuts over. Still the answer remains no. My next plan is bribery. She's always wanted to go to Madam Puddifoots, and even though I've never been I've heard enough horror stories about the place to venture anywhere near it except to see Ab at the Hog's Head (Don't WORRY, Mum, I don't get anything to drink there. I just visit the bloke that's all. He gets a bit lonely). So my strategy involves a simple, "I'll go have tea at Madam Puddingface's Death House if you'll go the Shrieking Shack with me next time." I'll probably have to tweak the wording later, but I've high hopes for its effectiveness._

_Anyway. Essays and all that glorious rubbish that is NEWT level classwork. It's sort of calling my name, so I'd best be off. Tell Aunt Hermione next time she sends me a book, to just send the one I asked for, not the entire ruddy library._

_Love,_

_Al_

_/_

**_Greetings! Thank you all SO very much for the reviews. I cannot begin to express how much it means to me when people tell me what they really think of my work. I know it needs polishing, but you all don't mind being my guinea pigs until I get to that stage, so YOU ROCK. End of story. Be a dear and do the same for this chapter - it feels kinda weird to me. Maybe not as humerous? Unless the others weren't funny at all. Eh. Just lemme know what you think. _**


	7. Chapter 7

_**Wow. This took way longer than I thought it would. I'm so sorry to keep those of you who like this story waiting for so long. I'm trying to help my family out during some rather difficult times right now, plus I'm trying to study ahead some for the fall term in August. Believe me when I tell you that this writing business is quite important to me, and I won't go falling off the face of the earth anytime soon. Anyways, here's chapter 7!**_

_**Oh, and shoutout to **_**Bonnie Lilac Potter**_** for giving me the nudge I needed to finish this. Go check out her story – it's good!**_

_/_

_Dear Mum and Dad,_

_Well, as you may or may not have heard from the others – we've won the Quidditch Cup. It wasn't quite as much fun as it was when James was here and I got to gloat all summer, but it was still a fantastic feeling. I'd love to tell you all about the match itself, except I couldn't even see half of it. It was storming dreadfully, and it's a wonder nobody fell off their broom. Lily did catch a Bludger on her knee, though, but she seems to be fine. I think it's worse than she's letting on, but Rose has checked on her several times since the match and said it was nothing to be worried about. I reckon we can trust Miss Future Healer with that much. Bex was thrilled when she learned Rose's going into the same profession as she. Those two are beyond brilliant, obviously, since they're going to be Healers and all that, but the thought of them sharing a residence makes me feel sort of uneasy. It's in a nicer part of the city, though, so I'm probably just being overprotective like Hugo is. He's just glad Scorpius won't be living with them – but Rose told me that Uncle Ron took the news that they were seeing each other rather well, so I suppose there's hope yet. _

_On the other hand, Scorpius says that his father was thrilled – his word, not mine. Even Scor seemed baffled by that one, but the morning after the Malfoys found out, Rose got a letter from his parents. I've read it, and I'll just be honest and tell you that I never thought a kind letter would come from the desk of Draco Malfoy. All the same, I'm happy for Rose. She's fancied Scorpius for ages, and he's felt the same for even longer. How two such talented, bright people managed to be so oblivious for so long, I will never understand. Honestly, neither of them dated anybody else in the entire span of seven years, and still they don't have a clue until finally Lily snapped and told Rose how Scor felt. Of course, then Rose has to go and nearly sabotage the Quidditch final for us, running up to him as we were leaving the locker rooms and snogging him senseless there in front of all of us. I would prefer my Seeker to have his wits about him while playing in our last and most important match, but he didn't seem to mind. I personally could have died __**without**__ seeing my best mate's tongue down my cousin's throat and been perfectly alright. Anyway, long story short, now they're in love and trying to make up for lost time since apparently they're both idiots when it comes to romance._

_Talking of idiots, have you heard from James recently? He hasn't answered my last two letters. I know he and Sadie are just getting settled in to the married life and all that entails, but I __**am**__ his brother after all. Perhaps I should try writing Sadie instead; she'll have the decency to reply I'm sure. _

_That's all the news from here; only two weeks left till exams, then we'll be leaving Hogwarts for good. I'm not sure if that makes me happy or sad, but I can't really picture myself back here come September, so I suppose that's a sign it's time to move on. Scorpius received word about that flat we saw over Easter hols; it looks like we've a place to stay now as well. I like the fact that it's only two blocks away from the girls' place, but it's also nice that it's so close to the Ministry, since both of us are working there in the summer. _

_I'd better stop there. It's nearly time for dinner anyway. See you soon._

_Love,_

_Albus_

_/_

_**Alright, I'm honestly not sure what to do now. I might write an epilogue-ish sort of thing just to satisfy my own curiosity, but this could also be the last chapter. Hope you liked it – I just couldn't resist the dash of Scorose. They're another one of my OTPs. So everyone gets a shot at romance, and they're off planning the rest of their lives together. Such nostalgia.**_

_**Anyways, I do hope you enjoyed this short story. I've started a more serious multi-chap for Chronicles of Narnia. It's a plot idea that has been bouncing around in my brain for quite some time now. It's a bit darker, to be sure, but I think I'm pleased with the way it's going so far. I hope to update that soon, and then I might do another HP fic or possibly a Percy Jackson piece. I'm rather excited about that one. I love me some PJO. Okay, I'll shut up now. Let me know what you think please!**_
